As we start to get a very long way across the country and in a position to breathe a sigh of relief knowing the hardest part is now done, our minds can begin to reflect on the incredible and diverse country and landscape that we have travelled through and seen over the past ten days. Words cannot describe the experiences, the sights, the adventures, the hardships and the amazing tribulations we have had so far. I (RB) have been doing these events for a very long time and this floats straight to the top. The country is great and delivered everything we expected and more. The communities have been wonderful hosts and have delivered everything we expected and more and most importantly, this group of 155 people that we have on this event have stepped up to the plate, dug deep and shone through in the toughest of conditions and environments. Not one, and I mean not one bad egg or annoying person in amongst us all. Each and every person is a unique character and brings an individual contribution to the event and together we are achieving things that have never been done and are over and above all expectations and forecast. I am very proud to move these people around our great country and I consider myself very fortunate to be their leader. I most certainly would not have taken this on if I didn’t have these people right behind me. I know them, I trust them and together we have kicked one very big goal.Last night in Laverton was a real hoot. It is an amazing community and their spirit and passion for their town shines through in every local. We always engage our event with the communities and everything is built on a labour of love. Meaning we get the best hospitality in the Australian bush and everywhere we go, we give a healthy boost to local communities and their fundraising projects. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of memories and lots of new stories that will no doubt spin around the camp fire for many years to come.The run through to Kalgoorlie was purpose made to be not too hard, but still provide plenty of excitement and scenery to take in. It was a great route as we wound our way down through the remote gold fields and into Kalgoorlie. Heads were spinning from left to right, cameras being held out windows and the radio full of excited chatter of all the coloured and ever-changing landscape. Once again, words cannot describe the experience. Breathtaking.Cars are now all in Kalgoorlie and we have our entire band back together. (Well all except the boys from car 307 ‘Cane Toad’ who we miss and look forward to catching up with again soon – “G’day Boys”). Over the past few days we have had our mob stretched over hundreds of kilometres and from the first car right back to our last sweep along with a limping rally car. We never leave anyone behind and we never give up. We will do whatever it takes to keep people moving and get to the finish line. We are geared and equipped to deal with any situation, no matter how dire or hopeless it may be or appear at the time. Improvise, adapt and overcome and above all else, never say never!Cars are filthy, battered, battle scarred and people can hear us coming from miles away. We have a lay day tomorrow and although considered a ‘day off’, every hour will be jammed full of fixing cars, cleaning gear, repairing busted bits, washing well-worn clothes and of course, looog hot showers all round.I have now had a rally on the road for fifteen days, with five to go. Between the first week’s RBR and now the Super, it is the longest event we have ever had on the road. Twenty straight days. Loving every minute of it and these guys (every one of them) are the best of the best. Love them all and of course, everyone back home who support them. Family, friends, loved ones and significant others.Cheers from Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Road Boss.

As a relative of contestants in the Super Boss Rally, I thank god that there is somebody at the helm that cares about not just the success of the rally but about the people travelling with you.Your are obviously a person that cares about what you want as well as those that are along for the ride. My brothers have been on many rallies now and the excitement of new ground new adventures keeps them coming back for more, even bringing a son/ nephew and his partner along as well. As I sit at home in North west NSW, I have waited with baited breath for the next up date of the journey. Congratulations on all that you have achieved and many more rallies to come.

There are so many familiar sites being posted in team photos it makes me very nostalgic. It has been wonderful following your progress and I just love the spirit that you bring to every rally Jamie and Michelle, plus all the officials. The hard work you all put in must be worth it when you see the enormous smiles on not only the entrants faces but every community member that welcomes you through their small, remote towns. I cant wait to hear some of the stories in person
